We’ve completely redesigned the user interface of our SuperCart shopping cart to provide a more refined and intuitive user experience.

What Is SuperCart?

SuperCart is FormSmarts’ shopping cart.

SuperCart allows a user to submit multiple payment forms — each with one or more priced items on it — and pay for all of them at the end.

A typical use case for SuperCart is to allow a customer to register an open-ended number of guests for an event:

The customer first enters the information of the first participant and chooses the relevant registration options.

Once the customer has submitted the form, all fees and priced options are listed in the shopping cart. In the example below, the registration options for the first guest include two fees: Standard Registration and Lunch & Dinner.

The customer is presented with two choices on the confirmation page: Continue Shopping or Proceed to Payment

He can submit the form again as many time as needed to register more participants

How to Create a SuperCart Form

Building a SuperCart form is easy:

Create a form with fees formatted like on any FormSmarts payment form.

Set the Return URL of the form to the FormSmarts.com URL given by the form builder. If you prefer to embed the form onto your site (which we don’t recommend with SuperCart), use instead the URL of the page where the form is embedded.

In the Form Details screen of the form builder, set the On Submission option to Integrate with PayPal using SuperCart.
